[1]Thisnote was written on a letter from S. M. Kirov and I. P.
Babkin dated December 9, 1919, concerning the situation in the
Caucasus. The letter stated that there was no exact information
whether Kamo had arrived in Baku.

Inthe autumn of 1919, Kamo, at the head of a combat group,
was sent secretly from Moscow with arms, munitions and
literature to carry out underground work in the Caucasus. Overcomingall difficulties, the group arrived safely in Baku and joined in
the struggle against the Denikinites.
